entorhinal cortex

Component of the temporal lobe on the mesial surface. The rostral and caudal boundaries of the entorhinal cortex are the rostral end of the collateral sulcus and the caudal end of the amygdala respectively. The medial boundary is the medial aspect of the temporal lobe and the lateral boundary is the collateral sulcus. (DK). Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the entorhinal cortex is

Component of the temporal lobe on the mesial surface. The rostral and caudal boundaries of the entorhinal cortex are the rostral end of the collateral sulcus and the caudal end of the amygdala respectively. The medial boundary is the medial aspect of the temporal lobe and the lateral boundary is the collateral sulcus. (DK). The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the entorhinal cortex is

It sits within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the entorhinal cortex connects to

The atlas records 4 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of parahippocampal gyrus and piriform cortex.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the entorhinal cortex. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as entorhinal area, Brodmann's area 28, area entorhinalis (28,34), area entorhinalis ventralis et dorsalis, cortex entorhinalis and entorhinal cortex. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the entorhinal cortex?

It sits within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the entorhinal cortex connect to?

Part of: parahippocampal gyrus and piriform cortex.

Is the entorhinal cortex the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
